3 Things I Wished I'd Told That African American Man via LaurieJStone
The other day I was in my neighborhood grocery store when I encountered a tall, middle-aged African-American man stocking shelves. He had a cart full of product and part of it blocked my way. I looked at him, smiling, saying, “Excuse me.” He turned and gazed at me, his eyes hard, face tight and unsmiling. And that’s when I saw it.
But maybe I wasn’t wrong. Maybe he really felt that way. And if that’s the case, there are three things I wish I could’ve said to him. Second, I wanted to tell him I’m not the enemy. Like many Caucasians – including, I pray, the majority of white police officers – I’m horrified by this growing hatred. I believe most people are good and prefer peace above violence.
The way that African-American man looked at me made me feel like a struggle had begun and I’d become his foe, deserving or not.
